The end wall is a baffle. The recessed sections form part of a short corridor that winds through the baffle and in to the next section of the tunnel. It seems as if the intention was to divide the shelters vertically to allow for more occupants, consequently the corridors are repeated in the top section.

if anyone explores the bomb shelters, they'll eventually find a large gong object. I want it bad

the movie is quite interesting to see the supernatural side of it... but the history of the tunnel is amazing i my self would like to stand in st james station but like hell i would ever go in

rumour has it there was a staircase leading from Shakespeare Place (sth end of Botanic) to below. Fire apparently destroyed stairs in '68. Currently where the Cahill Expwy enters the domain tunnel.

the tunnels in the pic are not "disused"; they were never used in the first place. They curve towards the south-east, and climb to pass over the City Outer tunnel near Park Street, heading towards the alignment of Oxford St and Taylor Sq., eventually in Bradfield's plan to go to Bondi Jun.

hey thur biznitches, any one keen on taking a canberra bloke on a paid tour?..let me know.

UrbanTwilight...
UrbanTwilight is photographing the underground tunnels, abandoned buildings, rooftops, and hidden industry that most people would never normally get to see. The images contained on this site have been shot in Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Hobart, and countless country locations inbetween. Nearly all have been taken in low to very-low lighting conditions, and most on Canon digital equipment.

The Julia Farr Home for Incurables
After sitting vacant for more than 30 years, the Julia Farr Hospital's 'Home for Incurables' has finally been demolished.
Urbantwilight hid a camera on the roof of a neighbouring bulding and filmed the 4 week demolition process. Checkout the timelapse video.

UrbanTwilight turns 10 this year so I've finally made some time between the tunnels and abandoned buildings (and my day job) to make a few improvements around the place.
The images are bigger, the old ones have been colour corrected, and a handful have been given the flick. Most importantly there's a whole new section called 'Archives' -
You should check it out from time to time, you never know what you might find.

The Funnel
An expedition report of sorts, this has been hiding on Urbantwilight for years. 'The Funnel', 'The Pothole', 'Skate or die'. Whatever you choose to call it, this place is awe-inspiring.
